Description
We have a variety of projects according to the time of year. We shall be finishing building a big yurt and putting up a tepee during 2025. It is very exciting as of March 2025 we have just had our a 5 Rhythm Dance in the yurt, it was amazing although there is still work to do.
Please note we are creating a space to dance and have yoga etc for all the people who live around us. We are best suited to people on a pathway of their own spiritual and self development. People who are self aware, open to new ideas and are self expressed.
Chris and Julia live nearby in a 160 acre Eco-village where you will be hosted. We have travelled extensively and still do. Julia is a homeopath, ecstatic dance teacher, Shaman and runs a Holistic Education Centre (Kalikalos in Greece in the NZ winter). Chris is currently developing our land but is also a professional yacht skipper, ex organic farm advisor, ex Greenpeace captain and founder of a rewilding charity in the UK. Both of us have done lots of personal development. We like to have a good level of communication with guests and appreciate spending time with people who are curious and engaged in their own self-development.
Our community land is 10 mins from our ecovillage. It has amazing views of the ocean and is close to some of the best beaches in the country, including Sandy Bay, which is a good surf beach, where you can hire boards and get lessons. Our tasks are varied so if you want more details ask when you book.
By default we need help 5 hours a day, 5 days a week but also offer 4 hours a day, 6 days a week, which gives longer afternoons off to go to the beach :) Guests can do extra hours in the week so they get the whole weekend off.
Minimum stay is 1 week, please and longer preferred. We have nice accommodation for 2 singles or and can take two couples but can take more people if you have a van or tent.
This is a good place for people converting vans for their trips as we have a good little workshop and a range of tools.
Our eco-village has goats, horses, cows and we have our own chicken.
